1.1 Intro to A & P
1.1
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| is the branch of science which studies the structure of the human body, the body parts and their relationship to each other | Anatomy |
| Anatomy describes 6 body categories,what are these? | Location,Shape,Name,Color,Position and Size |
| is the study of the function of the body - how the body parts work individually and together. | Physiology |
| If you divided the body into the smaller and smaller pieces, eventually you'd get to something that can no longer be divided. These tiny pieces are called | atoms |
| The most abundant molecule in the human body is | water |
| Molecules join together to make_____ | organelles. |
| _____are complex molecular structures inside a cell, each with a specific function. | Organelles |
| _ and _ form Together they make up the cells which are the smallest living units in a living organism. | Organelles and Molecules |
| _______ are created when two or more atoms bind together chemically, usually by sharing or exchanging electrons to achieve a more stable, lower-energy state | Molecules |
| What are the 4 types of tissue? | epithelial tissue,connective tissue,muscle tissue,nervous tissue |
| (What type of tissue) form the coverings and linings of the body | epithelial tissue |
| What type of tissue) supports and protects body organs | connective tissue |
| What type of tissue) contracts to move the whole body, or move substances through the body | muscle tissue |
| What type of tissue) creates and transmits electrical impulses allowing communication within the body. | nervous tissue |
| two or more tissues joined together to perform the same function. | Organ |
| Which type of tissue is made up of cells used as covering or lining of structures? | epithelial tissue |
| (what system) External covering that protects deeper tissues. | Integumentary |
| (what system) Contracts to allow movement. | Muscular |
| (what system) Fast-acting control system that responds to change by creating and conducting electrical systems. | Nervous |
| (what system) Secretes hormones to control growth, reproduction. | Endocrine |
| (what system) Regulates water balance of body, | Urinary |
| (what system) Transport system to deliver oxygen and nutrients to cells and take away waste substances from cells. | Cardiovascular |
| (what system) Framework for skeletal muscles, site of blood cell production, protects and supports body organs, stores minerals such as calcium. | Skeletal |
| (what system) Returns fluid leaked from the blood back into blood, helps to protect against infection and foreign substances. | Lymphatic |
| (what system) Produces sex cells. Provides structures for fertilisation, development and birth of offspring. | Reproductive |
| (what system) Brings oxygen into the body and transfers it into blood. Removes carbon dioxide from blood and eliminates it from the body. | Respiratory |
| (what system) Breaks down food and transfers nutrients into blood. | Digestive |
| (Directional terms)towards the head end or upper part of a structure or the body, above, higher | Superior |
| (Directional terms) away from the head end or toward the lower part of a structure or the body, below, lower | inferior |
| (Directional terms) away from the midline of the body, on the outer side | lateral |
| (Directional terms) towards the midline of the body, on the inner side | medial |
| (Directional terms) in front of, toward or at the front of the body | Anterior (ventral) |
| (Directional terms) behind, toward or at the backside of the body | Posterior (dorsal) |
| (Directional terms) toward or at the body surface | Superficial |
| (Directional terms) away from the body surface, more internal | Deep |
| (Directional terms) closer to the origin of the body part or closer to the point of attachment of a limb to the torso | Proximal |
| (Directional terms) further from the of origin of the body part or further from the point of attachment of a limb to the torso | Distal |
| (Under Planes of Division) The _____plane divides the body lengthwise into right and left parts. A mid-sagittal plane divides the body along the midline. | sagittal |
| (Under Planes of Division) The_______ plane divides the body into anterior and posterior parts. | frontal |
| (Under Planes of Division) The _______plane divides the body horizontally into superior and inferior parts | transverse |
| the _____ cavity contains the brain | cranial |
| the________ cavity contains the spinal cord | spinal |
| the_____ cavity contains the lungs, heart, oesophagus, and trachea | thoracic |
| the ________ cavity is often subdivided into a superior abdominal cavity and an inferior pelvic cavity although there is no physical structure dividing the two cavities. | abdominopelvic |
| the abdominopelvic cavity is often subdivided into a superior abdominal cavity and an inferior pelvic cavity although there is no physical structure dividing the two cavities. what are these two? | abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity |
| (under abdominopelvic cavity}The____ cavity contains the stomach, liver, intestines, gall bladder, kidneys, and pancreas. | abdominal cavity |
| (under abdominopelvic cavity)The______ cavity contains the reproductive organs, bladder and rectum. | pelvic |
